Remnants of play

Lately I’ve been collecting sweet insightful photos of my children’s remnants of play…
And seeing these left behind snapshots of their play often gives me goosebumps
to see how their imaginations turn little objects into lovely play scenes
It is all the more special when I see that their mama made toys are often their favourites
mixed in with other toys and  left for me to discover!
 

Thinking about the left behind play scenes in this way has helped me to appreciate the imaginative play that has taken place, rather than see the mess left behind.

Collecting these lovely remnants of play has been inspired

Making a gnome home

It’s fun setting up invitations to create like this one….

Placing things carefully to look inviting
and then waiting for the kids to spot them *grin*

I’d actually toyed with the idea of keeping these little houses as a project for me
but knew the kids would love painting them!

And I must admit, watching their faces when they did spot this little set up was a gift *smile*

  They used the pretty watercolours and went to work painting their little houses
I was pleasantly surprised that Dino Boy took his time and used his brush gently

And Little Miss Q glorified in the colours
Spreading them across the wood and watching them shine

Until they were both done
and there was a little paint splattered
but they seemed happy and satisfied with their creations

Next we will have the fun of deciding where they will live
And who might live in them!

Happy crafting,
Kelly
